I'm a long time TMobile customer- I've had my share of phones including a Sidekick 1 and 2, and recently a TMobile MDA.

I recently returned by MDA (a piece of crap IMHO) for an 8700g and my God it is a WORLD of difference:

- Email is a snap to set up- I had my gmail, yahoo, and corporate email (my office doesn't have BES) in about 5 minutes.
- Reception is awesome. 10x better reception than my MDA. Only takes a minute or two to pick up reception after I get off the subway. The MDA took up to an hour.
- Interface is intuitive.
- Killer design.

What do you do for there is no Memory slot no camera and no MP3, compared to the MDA?

I just upgraded from another blackberry 7100 series. Had my share of Nokia and smartphones before switching to blackberry world. 8700g is AWESOME, the display is great, speed is excellent, EDGE is the best.. Love it, had cameras on other phones and rarely used them so i am very very happy with my 8700g.
